I got a new dishwasher that has a “glass front door”. I paid extra for the glass door for this reason - I want to see it. But guess what - hahaha - the glass door is simply placed over metal and you can’t see shit.
wtf. like it’s a window to a wall, or like glass back phones?
THEY DON’T WANT US TO SEE!!!
Here’s an idea you can have for free, manufacturers: air fryer window
Those do exist on the larger ones, they are also usually more expensive tho
My tabletop dishwasher has a window. It looks fun in there. Splishy splashy.
Table… top… dishwasher? What sorcery is this?
Gaze upon my works and despair
That’s so cute! But… I can’t imagine what I could remove from my kitchen to make room for that. I’d love to add a rice cooker but there’s no room for that either .
I have a tiny kitchen but also an appliance addiction. I have an entire folding table dedicated to all my beautiful machines for which I lack counter space, lol
When I lived in a studio with negligible counter space, the portable dishwasher sat atop one of those commercial grade wire rolling racks, which also doubled as shelves for my irresponsible amount of spices
Don’t let lack of counter space stifle your maximalism. Just make more counter space lol
LOL agreed.
I actually got the cheap table tops from IKEA and some adjustable metal legs and I use a weird space where the extra long radiator is and made a counter top out of it.
Making more space is almost always a good idea. And there are lots of ways to do it.
Haha, I love that. Spices are another one of my weaknesses as well. And I’d like nothing more than to do something similar to what you did, actually.
Problem is my wife doesn’t like the aesthetics of my solutions. I’m slowly wearing her down, tho. We went with something that she liked but wasn’t as practical as it should’ve been. She’s realized that it’s not what we we were hoping for and has agreed to change it. Haven’t found anything worthwhile at the obvious stores like Ikea and such so now I’m looking for alternatives.
happy furniture hunting! :]
Thanks! <3
The kind of thing you’d have in a small apartment where there is no space for a big one and you’re single or a couple and don’t have a lot of dishes to fill a big one with anyway.
It might also have to do with the fact that a window is more expensive, but required for ovens and microwaves as food night burn otherwise, but usually there’s no issue running a dishwasher longer than exactly required
It’s definitely not required for ovens. You can just open the oven. Source: previous oven (1950s vintage) didn’t have one.
Pretty useful though, and pretty important on microwaves too since you can’t safely open the [microwave] oven while it’s running.
You can open it but you every time you do, you lose heat, which has to be compensated for by the oven. A window makes the process much easier. There wouldn’t really be measurable gains for a dishwasher
That person has never cooked a souffle.
How’s it not safe to open the oven while running? Just don’t touch anything without mitts and keep your face back.
They meant the microwave
Yes. Microwave is short for “microwave oven”. I thought it was clear from context but I guess not.
It’s useful to see the others, not sure how useful it would be to see inside a dishwasher. Could be fun though. Also probably is cheaper not to have it and could be better insulation.
Same reason fridges probably don’t have windows even though that’d actually be handy. I once saw someone post about how their really expensive fridge actually has a window, but their mom put a curtain in front of it because seeing inside the fridge looked “messy”. What a travesty
Washing mashines have a window though.
Only side loading ones. You don’t need a window for top loading ones and none have it.
modern top loading washers have windows. I’ve seen dozens of them
🤦♂️
That’s a clothes washer, not a dish washer
Yes, but connecting to your statement, is it useful to see inside?
Btw, why do they have one?
Edit: Kusimulkku answered that nicely.
Not all clothes washers have a window,. though it is more common than on dish washers. No it’s not that useful.
If you open a front-load washer in the middle of its wash cycle, it would dump 5–10 gallons (editors note: however much that is) of dirty, soapy water all over the floor. That’s bad - so the manufacturer designs a window so that you can see that the machine is empty of water before opening the door.
I guess it’s for that reason. Dishwashers could have similar problems but they might have a lot less water in them at one time and with the type of doors they have you might not dump as much on the floor or something.
Dishwashers don’t fill up - they just have a well at the bottom (below the height of the door) and they spray water over the dishes to rinse of the dirt.
Washing machines need to fill up and soak the clothes so that they get everywhere, not just the outer layer.
I was thinking that was the case. So makes sense why one would have a window and one doesn’t, from “spilling water on the floor” sense.
No they don’t, that’s why front loaders use so much less water
- a top loader fills up the tub so the clothes are under water
- my front loader
— slaps the clothes into the puddle of water to clean
— to soak, lightly sprays on top while tumbling back and forth so they all get wet without ever being under water
You can safely open a dishwasher at any time.
Not true if I do it in the middle of a program my wife will beat my ass
My dishwasher can be opened at any time. The sprays stop instantly and the small amount of water can just sit there
My front loading washer also has a small amount of water that seems like it would just sit there if I could open the door. However the door is locked whenever it is spinning
Front loading washing machine doors are automatically locked during the wash cycle.
They often have an emergency release mechanism (pull string behind a cover or similar)
Some are. Modern ones definitely, older ones most likely. Not all though. Guess how I know…
Also I wonder what the situation was at the time they introduced those glass windows.
Obviously, the dishwasher manufacturers don’t want us to know about the gnomes.
Gnomes with cleaning equipment.And when your dishes don’t get very clean, that’s because the gnomes partied a bit too hard the night before and just aren’t up to their normal standards.
Hmm. That’s also a great name for a punk band. Dishwasher Gnomes.
Going to trademark that right now.Dishwater Gnomes
Cover songs of 90s alternative at x2.5 speed and an octave higher.
No not punk. It would combine 80s one hit wonder songs with 2010s hipster southern folk.
It’s not the fact that the gnomes exist! It’s how they’re treated, down with big dishwasher!
You might be interested in MinuteFood’s video on dishwashers. No clear viewing panel, but she stuck a GoPro in one. https://youtu.be/_haQLmfoWxI?si=6g3S7tix70bDdPhZ
It’s because the water is t o o w e t
We have a counter top dishwasher. It has a window. It’s not that interesting though.
Yup, was coming to comment the same. Mine has one too, it’s just not very interesting or even necessary to see.
Saw this post, instantly thought “Technology Connections”, am not disappointed by the comments here.
My dishwasher has a window. It’s a lot of water spraying everywhere.
Thats what big dishwasher wants you to think, they put the fake window to hide the dishwashing gnomes from the public eye. Wake up sheeple
OH FUCK
They don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes
there’s a little gnome that lives in mine to lick them clean. charges exorbitant prices though.
Not in full swing but generally this shows you whats happening
I instantly thought of that video myself.
goofy ah minds think alike
Oh my god, thank you for this channel. I have found a new thing to binge
To show what a dishwasher does, they built one with a large window on the side for childrens television (“Sendung mit der Maus”, German public TV Station ARD). Quite interesting and informative.
I guess you mean this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2X-gwfX4aA
Bonus video: Your dishwasher is better than you think
Exactly that one. Thanks.
Mine has one, it’s cool
Can you send a picture? I’ve truly never seen one
I miss pics or it didn’t happen.
Which is kinda broken thanks to AI.
As long as Ai cannot count we can still use it
It’s in storage now but here is a video of the same model
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIkg06V3NHc
I can watch it go for a full cycle, especially at night when all the lights are out, it’s like a light and water show.
Damn man! Really love the aesthetics for the entire washer.
Do you not realize you can just find pictures yourself? It would have taken you less time to do than to write that comment.
Do you not realize they know they can just find pictures themselves? It would have taken you less time to move along than to write that comment.
You must be great at parties. And my answer is no! A picture as someone knows it tells me more than some random ass google query.
But a good tip for you my friend, you can block people if you don’t like what they say ;)
